Do you mean source-level compatibility between the two languages? I'm afraid they are too different, and limiting oneself to their intersection is not realistic for a large project (and you'd loose many benefits of each language).
For a bridge between the two languages, it would not be very different from a generic bridge between OCaml and .Net (similar to CSML), with the same major issue of having to deal with two separate GCs and references between them, maybe just with a better structural treatment for sum types. Not very exciting, and to make it usable, one would also need to address existing issues with OCaml under Windows anyway. Also, I don't think that people really want to use both languages in the same project.
Maybe you mean something else with interoperability? Alain -- Caml-list mailing list. Subscription management and archives: https://sympa-roc.inria.fr/wws/info/caml-list Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs
